Faucet installation in Mississauga is rarely a single tap. The 1980s and 1990s two-storeys in Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Applewood came with a main bathroom, an ensuite, a powder room and often a basement bath, and each one has been updated at a different time by a different owner.
So I get asked to bring the whole house back to one look. I replace faucets, shower heads, toilets, drains, supply lines and shut-off valves, and I price the full list before starting.
The pattern here is four bathrooms in four different decades. A Meadowvale or Erin Mills two-storey might have a widespread faucet in the ensuite, a centreset in the main bath, and a builder single-lever in the powder room, each with a different hole spacing. I measure every deck before you buy anything, because the wrong spread means a new sink, not just a new tap. Around Square One the picture changes to condo suites where the shut-off hides in a ceiling access panel or a closet.

A picture of the sink, the cabinet underneath and the existing shut-off valves tells me most of what I need. From that I can usually price the work before I arrive and bring the right parts and connectors with me.
Water is shut at the stops, the lines are drained into a tray, and the old fixture comes out. Seized nuts get cut off rather than forced, and the sink deck is scraped back to clean, dry material.
The new fixture sits on its own gasket, the mounting hardware is tightened evenly so the base does not sit skewed, fresh supply lines are fitted, and the drain assembly is sealed with the right material for your sink.
Hot and cold run at full flow, the basin is filled and drained to load the trap, then every joint is dried and rechecked. The cabinet floor goes back dry so a future drip is easy to spot early.
Swapping a fixture on healthy shut-off valves in an open cabinet is quick work. Cost climbs when the stops are seized and have to be replaced, when corroded mounting nuts have to be cut off, when the cabinet is deep and cramped, or when a stone counter and an undermount sink make access awkward. Several fixtures done in the same visit cost less each than booking them separately. Fixtures can come from you or from me with receipts, and the price is settled before any tools come out.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
Normally one, as long as I know the count in advance. I ask for a photo of each sink deck and the space under it, then I bring the right supply lines and stops for all of them. A Mississauga two-storey with three or four bathrooms is usually a single day. If a sink turns out to be cracked underneath, I will show you before going further.
